Discussions about Quests

Ok,

This is what I have to say about these,

I have 5 quest outstanding - 4 of them need something done where I would have to spend farm cash for a facility or tool(one of them need 2), which I don't have. So, now I can't do any except 1. And those 4 do not expire for 4+ days.......

I am not about to spend loads of farm cash to get some coins once a quest is complete -- I already have 800 million coins

Otherwise the few that I have done are ok.....

This is where I am at. 5 quest open, all 5 require 2 or more cash facilities that I do not have the cash to buy. Yes I know all about supporting the game and I have, but currently my situation is that I can't spend the money.
So I can't do the quest, and it is 3 days till the first one expires, so I am moving on from the quest and letting them go. I love this game and I hate not being able to do them.
If it was coin facilities I would buy them in a heart beat cause I have the coin.

Yeah! I have an eleven step quest! Have 7 days to finish. Wonder how many quests I can get open before I finish.

[i try]

I waited 7.6 days for a qwest to expire because i was 1 FC short of buying the facility to complete it. I've been at 310 since the last upgrade and MUST have a few FC in THE BANK Any way to get access to them? xcept wait till the new levels come out?
ThanXXX devs, I love the qwests anyway. A new challenge every day!

The quests are obviously a ploy to get us to spend money, I have 3 quests standing there doing nothing because I don't have the required facilities, but I am certainly not going to spend money just to manage these little quests... definately not.. this ploy stands out like a sore thumb.

Im glad they havent made them team orientated - that implies begging from neighbours etc - but the Devs have said (I think) that in the future harvesting someone elses crops etc will count. I dont have the time nor the ability (bad hands) to go harvesting for others although I do work their facilities.

I think you are just unlucky - I DO have all the facilities both FC and coin BUT a neighbour does not and has only had one out of several that needed a facility that was Cash. Hopefully they will eventually count work you do on others facilities to eliminate that problem.
This game is far less money orientated than some, and I like the fact that the quests arent in your face - flashing at you and saying you have to ask friends for thirty items every day.

A direct link from the Quest manager to the appropriate facility would be great - wonderful idea.

And please please please swap the icon over with the mini games one. Sorry Devs but I dont know anyone who plays the mini games - would be nice to have the quests button handy.

I find that they need to be treated just as an addition to our usual farming, enjoyed then put aside until the next day's quest.

Its pure chance from what I can see - random selection so there is a 1 in nth chance every time of getting the same one. Probably more chance of that than winning the national Lottery!!!

Just started doing quests and am already having problems...on one quest I have to grow Broccolli and make steamed vegetables...I did that...I grew a large farm of Broccolli...which takes 4 days I might add...and the game did not give me credit for it saying I still need to grow broccolli. How much Broccolli do I need to grow? And also...I keep producing steamed vegetables in my facility but it doesn't show that I have produced any at all. I found that some of the quests do involve using facilities that can only be purchased with Farm Cash...so I will not be able to complete those quests.
